Power distribution equipment sales, service, and field engineering across North America
Group CBS is a mid-sized electrical equipment distributor and service provider running a geographically dispersed field organization—operations span the U.S. and U.K., with active hiring across engineering (21 roles), ops, and sales. The tech stack is enterprise-standard (Salesforce, NetSuite, Microsoft 365) paired with industrial protocols (Modbus, TCP/IP) and project-management tools (Procore), reflecting a business model that blends transactional sales with complex on-site service delivery. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with 30 new roles posted in the last 30 days; the pain-point list reveals operational friction around training consistency, project cost control, and meeting deadlines—typical of scaled field-service orgs managing apprenticeships, travel, and rework.
Group CBS supplies new, surplus, and reconditioned low- and medium-voltage power equipment alongside repair, testing, and engineering services to industrial, utility, and electrical distribution markets. The company maintains North America's largest inventory of power equipment and operates modern shop facilities for rebuild, retrofit, and custom manufacturing work. Core service offerings include arc flash hazard analysis, short-circuit studies, on-site electrical testing, and remote control systems for circuit breakers and switchgear. Operations are distributed across multiple U.S. locations and the U.K., with 201–500 employees headquartered in Denton, Texas.
